the problem isn't necessarily top posted replies - it's replying to top
posted replies.

There are some who are obsessive about not seeing top posted replies and
some who deal with what's in front of them.

I hate the thought of guidelines/rules etc. for interchange - do
whatever you think is best. Most people won't say anything. Few if any
complain about bottom posted replies. Some will complain about top
posted replies. It's always your choice. My experience is that people
who top post are too lazy to trim irrelevant stuff so it becomes more
than just a choice sometimes, it becomes a methodology of laziness.
